Definitely a lump of some kind. I wondered at first if it was the crop full of yolk and maybe I helped it hatch too soon and it hadn’t finished all the yoke?
Newly hatched keet (had to help it out due to dry membrane) appears to have some kind of bulge on its neck (right side). Any clues what that could be? Also, if a keet hatches and is deformed to the point it can’t survive, what is the most humane way of dispatching them at that age/size?
